Due to their high potential stats and difficulty in obtaining, Relic Weapons are often considered to be on a level of [[Ultimate Weapon (Term)|ultimate weapons]], although alternatives exist for players who do not enjoy Relic grinds.

The Relic Weapons have six stages of upgrades: base form, [[#Zenith|Zenith]], [[#Atma|Atma]], [[#Animus|Animus]], [[#Novus|Novus]], and [[#Nexus|Nexus]]. Starting with the Novus stage, players can customize the secondary stats on their weapon. Upon reaching the Nexus stage, players can transform their relic weapon into a [[Zodiac Weapons|Zodiac weapon]] starting with patch 2.45. Unlike many weapons, Relic Weapons cannot be equipped by classes, only by their upgraded jobs.

The base form is unlocked through a quest with Gerolt. He instructs the [[Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy XIV)|adventurer]] to find the broken relic to return to him in Hyrstmill. After this, the adventurer must bring a specific crafted weapon, with two specific [[Materia (Final Fantasy XIV)|materia]] double-melded, varying on class, to him.

Thebaseform is itemlevel80.

Afterthis,Alumina Salts from the [[Dhrome Chimera]] in the Trial "A Relic Reborn: Chimera" must be achieved (as the job the weapon is for). Following this, the adventurer is required to obtain a book, and must talk to [[Rowena]] in [[Mor Dhona]], and then obtain the Amdapor Glyph from [[Amdapor Keep]] in exchange for the book Gerolt requested. 24 specific beastmen from the specific stronghold must then be killed{{foot|[[Zahar'ak]] Lancer x8, Pugilist x8, Thaumaturge x8; [[U'Ghamaro]] Quarrymen x8, Roundmen x8, Bedesmen/Priest x8; [[Natalan]] Boldwing x8, Fogcaller x8, Swiftbeak x8; [[Sapsa]] Shelfspine x8, Shelfclaw x8, Shelftooth x8; [[Sylpheed Sigh]] x8, Screech x8, Snarl x8}}, and then sly [[Hydra (Final Fantasy XIV)|Hydra]] (as the job the weapon is for, using theunfinishedweapon).

Once the broken form weapon is acquired, Alumina Salts from the [[Dhrome Chimera]] in the Trial "A Relic Reborn: Chimera" must be obtained by defeating it in the trial (as the job the weapon is for). Following this, the adventurer is required to obtain a book, and must talk to [[Rowena]] in [[Mor Dhona]], and then obtain the Amdapor Glyph from [[Amdapor Keep]] in exchange for the book Gerolt requested. 24 specific beastmen from the specific stronghold must then be killed{{foot|[[Zahar'ak]] Lancer x8, Pugilist x8, Thaumaturge x8| [[U'Ghamaro]] Quarrymen x8, Roundmen x8, Bedesmen/Priest x8| [[Natalan]] Boldwing x8, Fogcaller x8, Swiftbeak x8| [[Sapsa]] Shelfspine x8, Shelfclaw x8, Shelftooth x8| [[Sylpheed Sigh]] x8, Screech x8, Snarl x8}}, and then sly [[Hydra (Final Fantasy XIV)|Hydra]] (as the job the weapon is for, using the unfinished weapon).

Finally, White-Hot Ember, Howling Gale and Hyperfused Ore must be obtained by defeating [[The Bowl of Embers|Ifrit]] (Hard), [[The Howling Eye|Garuda]] (Hard) and [[The Navel|Titan]] (Hard) respectively, as the job the weapon is for. After this, a "Bottle of Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil" must be purchased for 15 [[Allagan Tomestone]]s of Poetics and given to Gerolt at Hyrstmill for the base form to be completed.

===Zenith===

−

Zenith Weapons are a small upgrade to item level 90 weapons, and is acquired from a simple quest.

−

−

The first upgrade requires only three Thavnairian Mists to be purchased from Auriana in Revenant's Toll, Mor Dhona (x22,y6). Each costs 20 Tomestones of Poetics, making a total of 60 tomestones spent per relic. After this, the player must visit the [[North Shroud]] Furnace by Gerolt, and merge them with the base form weapon (the [[#Curtana (PLD)|Curtana]] and [[#Holy Shield (PLD)|Holy Shield]] require two mists and one mist respectively). This will upgrade to Zenith.

+

Finally, White-Hot Ember, Howling Gale and Hyperfused Ore must be obtained by defeating [[Ifrit (Final Fantasy XIV Boss)|Ifrit]] (Hard), [[Garuda (Final Fantasy XIV Boss)|Garuda]] (Hard) and [[Titan (Final Fantasy XIV Boss)|Titan]] (Hard) respectively, all with the broken weapon equipped and as the job the weapon is for. After this, a "Bottle of Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil" must be purchased for for 110 [[Allagan Tomestone]]s of Soldiery and returned it to Gerolt at Hyrstmill for the base form to be completed.

===Atma===

===Atma===

−

In order to upgrade to Atma, Gerolt asks the adventurer to speak to [[Jalzahn]], who in turn asks that several crystal Atma objects are obtained from [[Full Active Time Event|FATEs]] around [[Eorzea]]. To obtain an Atma, the Adventurer must complete a FATE with the Zenith Relic Weapon equipped, and the crystal may randomly drop at an estimated 10% chance. Once an Atma drops, an in-game pop up will notify the player. The rating has no effect on whether or not it will drop, and players do not have to stay the full length of the FATE as long as it is completed. Players can collect multiple Atmas of the same kind, but only one of each kind may be used per weapon.
